Geography
1 answer:
andrew-mc [135]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The weather and climate are affected in a way that the high elevations decrease temperature and block wind and storm patterns.

Explanation:

A is correct because with increasing elevation the temperature gradually drops, usually around 1 degree Celsius per 100 m, and also manages to block the winds and storm patterns, managing to influence the local or even regional climate significantly.

B is not correct because it is a fact that the higher the elevation the lower the temperature is.

C is not correct because the temperature drops with an increased elevation, not the other way around.

D is not correct because the places of high elevation have a big impact on the wind and storm patterns.

Which measure did Los Angeles take as a result of severe droughts?
Lana71 [14]
The city of Los Angeles released 96 million "shade balls" into the Los Angeles Reservoir. These will serve to shield the water from the sun's heat in order to reduce evaporation and prevent algal and bacterial growth so no toxic substances are produced in the water. The balls reduce evaporation by 85%-90% so will save a lot of water yearly.
